Phoebe Bridgers made her debut as Sally in a concert adaption of Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, which took place at London’s OVO Arena Wembley last night. Danny Elfman, who voiced Jack Skellington and composed the music and lyrics for the 1993 film, reprised his role alongside Ken Page as Oogie Boogie, with backing from the BBC Concert Orchestra. Watch fan-captured footage of the show below.
A second performance of The Nightmare Before Christmas Live in Concert will be held tonight (December 10). Last year, Billie Eilish played Sally as part of the live concert at LA’s Banc of California Stadium.
Bridgers recently released a rendition of The Handsome Family’s ‘So Much Wine’, with proceeds going to the Los Angeles LGBT Center. She also joined Storefront Church for a cover of Low’s ‘Words’.
